Push Security Raises $15 Million in Series A Funding

Push Security has raised $15 million in a Series A funding round led by Google Ventures.

Push Security, a startup that secures employees’ use of online software and services, this week announced it has raised $15 million in Series A funding, which brings the total invested in the company to $19 million.

Led by GV (Google Ventures), the new funding round also saw participation from Decibel and several angel investors.

Launched in July 2022, the London-based Push Security monitors employees’ use of applications and services, alerts them when making erroneous decisions and helps them resolve the mistakes.

In order to secure the use of SaaS (software-as-a-service) work applications, the company provides enterprises with a centralized view of usage, covering even sensitive applications that employees onboard themselves.

Push Security monitors how employees use online applications and ‘pushes’ notifications on weak passwords, inadvertently shared links, and other risky behaviors, so that security teams can address them.

Once a new application has been added to the company’s tenant, Push Security notifies the security team and adds the app to a dashboard, for monitoring. It also flags high-risk integrations that require excessive data permissions.

Push Security supports monitoring of Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 and delivers notifications over Slack or Microsoft Teams. The company’s solution only works on desktops and laptops.
